“CARRY ALL TO GOD IN PRAYER.”
By M. J. COTTERILL
There are times when our enemy, the great Tempter, comes to us wearing a garb of such glittering brightness as to dazzle our weak, mortal vision, and make us incapable of judging whether he be an angel of light, or only the form of one. At such times our only safety is in fleeing from the deluding presence, and crying to God for strength and wisdom. Yes, there are times when we must not stop to reason even with our own hearts; when our only safety is in fleeing to our closet, and pleading, Keep me, O my Father, keep me from falling. It is a precious, invaluable privilege that we have of “carrying all to God in prayer.” He sees the need of our poor, weak hearts, but he wants us to acknowledge that need, to come and lay our burden at his feet. He wants us to trust him, and in the darkness he will cause the light to shine.
